Excited to continue my academic and athletic journey at Samford University. First and foremost, I want to thank the Lord for His guidance and blessings throughout this journey. Grateful for every coach, teammate, mentor, friend, and family member who helped make this possible.
Birmingham is home, and Samford feels like home.
SamU, I’m ready to work. 🐾⚾️

Norway's youth sports model is super unique:
• No scorekeeping until age 13
• Participation trophies for everyone
• No travel teams or national championships
• No online publishing of scores or athlete rankings
• Parents typically spend less than $1,000 per child per year
The result?
A 93% participation rate — 40 points higher than the U.S. — and more Winter Olympic medals than any other country in history, despite Norway having a population comparable to the Philadelphia metro area (5.6 million).
And it's not just winter sports...
Norway now produces some of the world’s best summer sport athletes, including Erling Haaland (soccer), Casper Ruud (tennis), Viktor Hovland (golf), and Jakob Ingebrigtsen (track and field).
So if you want to learn more about how Norway's youth sports system actually works (and what other countries can learn from it), here's an essay I recently wrote during the Winter Olympics that breaks it all down.

@C_Hetz Has been successful everywhere he has been. In A ball I was struggling as we were being trained to hunt 1 pitch and pull it over the fence. This was never my play style. We sat and talked throughout an entire game about how I viewed hitting and how I could balance
I’ve said this before, but in almost every profession in our country, except baseball apparently, we learn the most from the people that have done it before and have done it at a high level. We all have had mentors in some way that have help guide and direct us.
We must have a balance, not 100% either way, of that I agree, but, giving sole control of an organizational hitting philosophy to someone who the players WILL NOT respect is a mistake. Players respect and listen to coaches who have done it before. This is just a plain fact.
There should be a balance of powers.

Andrew Huberman shared something beautiful with Theo Von:
“I’m a scientist… and I pray every day. On my knees. Morning, night, even quietly in the bathroom before coming here.”
He talked about how reading the Bible and learning animals can see light we can’t (UV, infrared) made faith feel natural—not separate from science, but part of what makes it all more wondrous.
Theo smiled: “Sometimes an idea comes through and I think… that wasn’t just me. I’m just trying to be a good antenna.”
This 2-minute moment is gentle, honest, and deeply human.
If you’ve ever felt there might be more to life than what we can measure—this one’s for you.
